Integration into Active Directory and similar directory services

To integrate Threema Work into your central directory service (such as MS Exchange, AD, or LDAP), please use our APIs:

Different ways of integrating Threema Work into your central directory service are illustrated below.

In-app contact list

The Threema Work app can optionally synchronize its contact list with the address book of the mobile device. If the address book is linked to your central directory service (e.g., MS Exchange, AD, or LDAP), the contacts are mapped automatically to the appropriate Threema IDs, and contacts who use Threema appear in the app’s contact list. Learn here how to label internal contacts.

If you disable contact synchronization on the mobile devices, you can still add contacts via the management cockpit. The Threema Work API allows to automate the process of adding contacts to the management cockpit.

User management

Using the Threema Work API, you can automate administration and user management. Any management task that can be completed using the management cockpit can be completed using the API, for example:

  • Add, edit, and delete users
  • Manage the app’s contact list
  • Configure the app (e.g., prevent video calls or block unkown contacts)

Broadcast: Groups, feeds, and distribution lists

Threema Broadcast is the perfect tool for efficient top-down communication. Using the Broadcast API, you can dispatch messages and manage feeds, distribution lists, and groups. Integrating Threema Broadcast into your directory service (e.g., MS Exchange, AD, or LDAP) is quite easy.
